Preparing for your journey

Passengers are asked to bear in mind the following advice to help make their passage through the airport as efficient and comfortable as possible:
 
Before you arrive at the airport

• Limit quantities to what you may need in the cabin for the duration of the flight
• When possible, put liquids in hold baggage
• Prepare the re-sealable bag of liquids before arriving at the airport
• Check any queries you have with your airport or airline before traveling to the airport.

At the security point

•  Be ready to hand over your re-sealable bag of liquids for screening as you approach the security check point. It will be screened at the same time as your cabin luggage.
• All coats and jackets will have to be removed ready to be screened and metal items including wallets will be placed in plastic trays and scanned separately.
• If you are carrying a laptop or any other large electrical item within your cabin luggage then please have it ready for separate screening as you approach the security check.

Duty free / departure lounge purchases

• You may take on board liquid items of any size that are purchased after the security check in the Departure lounge (sometimes referred to as 'Airside').
• Most duty free or similar purchases will be given to you in a special sealed bag.
• Do not open this bag until you have reached your final destination.
• You should also retain your proof of purchase throughout your journey.  You will be required to show it at all transfer points.

Please note: Restrictions apply to duty free purchases made on return journeys where passengers change flights at an EU airport.
